In this rare historic footage from the 3rd of November, 1952, we see rare insight into early children's television, in this case NBC's "Howdy Doody".

Subject: Why

I give these uploads such titles because otherwise nobody would download them. Look at the "Life with Elizabeth" episodes I uploaded, nobody downloaded them because I gave them such bland descriptions.

Subject: Thanks, but...

While I appreciate the Howdy Doody uploads, is it really necessary to emphasize titles with "Rare Historic Footage", "Better than HBO" and "Artistic Masterpiece"? I appreciate the poster's enthusiasm, but I think the title and date is sufficient detail. BTW, what does "Masterpoxen." mean?
